Does anyone have a holiday home that they rent out whilst they are in the UK? If so do you use a property maintenance company that deal with meet and greet, cleaning etc? I have looked at some online but they seem a bit pricey. Thanks v much.
-
We have a place, we do not rent out, but we have a Property Maintenance Company that look after the place for us. We would recommend Engin at Fethiye Property Services. It's as well to remember you get what you pay sometimes cheap is not best, having said that, we find Engin's charges very reasonable and fair for the work he does for us.
-
Thanks jacqui. I believe they have a website. Il check them out :-)
-
You can always get cheaper, especially in Turkey. How do they manage to do it cheaper? They don't do it. Don't turn up some days, only half the required chemicals in the pool, cut corners.
Cheaper is rarely better but in the World of property management in Turkey, cheaper is marginally better than none at all. If your renters end up with ear infections or green hair, choosing nothing at all would actually have been a better investment.
-
Very true! The three I have found online are rainbow, orange, and fethiye property services. Il just figure out which one would work best for us I guess. They all seem to price things a little differently from one another.
-
We have a management company too .,we don't rent either but neither are we there a lot so we need someone to look after the place for us. Happy to give info if you don't already have someone, pm if interested
-
Doesn't Olga do that? You can find her via Cenk on info@interturk.co.uk. I'm told she's really good.
There's also a company called AA Property Support Services. I don't know much about them but they came highly recommended to me. www.allaspectsfethiye.com
-
Orange is very good . ;D
-
We use AA, and have done for 7 years, we have no problem with them, although they have changed hands in the last 2 years, the guy that does the pool and the grounds, Ali, is a top guy and takes pride in his work.
-
Hi all we have used the AA from 2006 to date, the service we have recived
from both people that have run the company has been very good.
The charges seem to be in line with other property maintenance companies.
Will continue to use them.
-
Orange is very good . ;D
They're crap at Violet!!
-
Olga at interturk ...she is very reliable
-
We used one of the management companies you mentioned for a few years. They started off brilliantly but very quickly went down the pan. I did have a discussion with a British ex employee (who was their front man when we took them on) and it was obvious that they were taking on too much and it was impossible for them to maintain the standards with the staff they had. PM me if you want to know more.
-
The few owners on Violet who use Orange don't rate them very highly at all.
I used them for the first year, seven years ago now and couldn't fault them but looks like things have changed.
-
From a guest point of view, the apartment we rent in Calis is looked after by "Peace of Mind" in Ovacik. The pool is checked daily and if there are any problems we have a contact number and they are quick to respond. Just another to add to your prospect list.
-
whoever you choose dont go with NG PS - 'we care and it shows' - they dont and it does!
-
stayed in an appartment last year looked after(NOT) by orange no towels on arrival flat not been cleaned for ages...orange NOT contactable....steer clear of this lot.. >:( >:(
-
That's exactly what's happening to the owners who use them on our complex Sue.
-
Hi Louz
Try Bayram ... He speaks brilliant english and has done wonders with our complex.
I had small plumbing prob and a prob with one of my doors not locking, he sorted it next day.
His gardner and pool guy is brilliant.
His website is
http://bayrampropertyservices.com
Tell him Ray from Peace Villas recommended him.
Cheers and good luck

It's good to see happy owners recommending their property managers as it is a great area for the fast buck merchants who take and forget to do the work.
I will of course recommend Olga, who really does care about doing things right and doing the things you could easily not bother to do and nobody would know. I also tell her, every single time we are together, that I have no idea why she does it. To me, no amount of money is enough for giving your mobile number to people on holiday renting a customer's property.
Amongst numerous examples of why £10,000 a year is not enough (so a few hundred quid definitely isn't) - how about the renters who rang the Interturk management mobile line well after midnight to ask "when will this rain stop".
I rest my case. :)
-
We dont rent out our apartment but would unreservedly recommend Olga at Interturk. She looks after our apartment and the service we receive is excellent plus she is a really nice, friendly person and nothing is too much trouble. Our complex is maintained by Engin from Fethiye Property Services and again can wholeheartedly recommend him and his team.
-
We have used Orange for the last 6 years. Highly recommend.
We use them for our property management and also our airport transfers.
Always been reliable.
their website is www.orangerentacar.com

We don't have ours done by an Agency any more so can't recommend one but what I can say is do yourself a favour and don't go simply on price. We did that in the early days and it was not a good experience. Bedding replaced damp so smelt damp leading to having to be replaced. Garden was only ever done the day before we or renter went in. Perishables left in fridge. Cleaning clearly done in a hurry if at all. Towels went missing and not reported. Maintenance requirements not carried out. I could go on and on. No point me naming and shaming since one I can't remember and two they aren't there any more. Go on recommendations on here and be clear what you might expect for that price.
